Frequently Asked Questions
How is a fractional CISO different from a consultant?
Strategic ownership vs. project work. Your fractional CISO is accountable for outcomes, integrated with your team, and available for incidents, not just delivering reports. We act as your security leader, not a one-time advisor.
What if we already have IT staff?
Your fractional CISO leads and empowers your IT team, they don’t replace them. Think of it as giving your technical team a seasoned general, not hiring more soldiers. We provide strategic direction while your team handles day-to-day execution.
How do you handle multiple clients?
Dedicated time allocation (typically 20-40 hours/month based on your needs), defined SLAs, and 24/7 incident response availability. You get predictable leadership without paying for downtime. Our team structure ensures you always have coverage.
What happens after the initial 90 days?
Ongoing strategic leadership, quarterly roadmap reviews, continuous compliance monitoring, and board reporting. We’re with you for the long haul, not just setup. Most clients engage for 12-24+ months as their security program matures.
Can you help us win DoD contracts and pass CMMC audits?
Yes. 100% of our clients pass their first compliance audit. We provide procurement-ready documentation for RFPs, support pre-award security reviews, and prepare your team for CMMC assessments. Our SDVOSB status and DoD experience give you a competitive edge.
